Scam alert: DO NOT USE THIS SERVICE!
Where do I start? I am beyond sad, disappointed, embarrassed and wish to warn everyone else about this company - hopefully before you also part with any funds or sharing personal details.
My small business has lost a significant sum of money through using the Paytoro service. I am now taking the time to document my findings to save others the pain, whether in losing money, or wasting your time trying to speak to the people you think you have been talking to - they have disguised themselves very well and are certainly not at any UK or Bristol address you may have noted.
My advice is to stop and call your local Police Fraud Team. Trying to track people down yourself to enquire where your funds are, or ask why your messages aren't being responded to any longer, will just leave you even more embarrased. Believe me I have made endless calls, travelled hundreds of miles, and stood at a location I thought was the HQ of Paytoro that ended up being a family home that was nothing to do with it at all.
Paytoro is a complicated scam where Indian based criminals pretending to represent a real UK business accept your money, agree contracts, even send you fake passports and IDs of Directors as proof they are real, when those IDs are of people that themselves have been defrauded as part of this whole process.
Don't be fooled by the credentials of the Paytoro Directors or other UK businesses you may think are involved - they are NOT the people you have been dealing with. The Telegram messages, emails, phone numbers, etc are all being managed by a group of scammers and NOT any Directors of a Company based in the UK. That is what I originally thought, but I was so so so wrong, and I have now left the investigation to the Police - and suggest anyone else involved does the same.
